Normally this message appears ig there aren't any maps installed.
Install your desired map (or just one map) and it should work....

It did install the map and there was even a 91mb file on the stoarge card. If you click it it begins to install something but then just vanishes?
Not sure what to do.
Thanks for your help though.

Searche the tomtom FAQ and they also advise to install a map.
Maybe you should contact them directly...
They should be experts in their software.... ;-)

Reinstall the map using an sd card reader writer, before removing the card, right click on the drive that the card has been allocated ie "E" and click eject, then remove it, sometimes the delayed write function fails if you dont do this and you ned up with a corrupt/incomplete file.

TomTom not working. I don't have retail version

Hi all, new here, just got an XDAIIi.
Am trying to load tomtom5.1, and also find other useful programs. I did a search on how to load it, all worked, but when I open the program, it says no maps. The maps are definatly on the memory card. Is it something obvious?
Also, any programs you can all suggest?
Cheers
Chris
Oops, cant spell tonight...

HI, create a folder called TomTom under My Documents/ in your memory card and put all the files in the TomTom folder, once you load the Navigator it will load the map. Hope this can help.

Help installing Tomtom 7 on Touch HD/Blackstone

Hi everyone.
Please can you help me to install tomtom 7 on my HD/Blackstone. This is my first PDA/phone like this , and I am kinda struggling.
I have downloaded the Tomtom 7.910.9185, with maps of western europe 1gb.815.2024
The package I downloaded had 3 versions of tomtom7 compressed.
QVGA black, QVGA blue, VGA black.
I am now lost, I have read about cab files, sending to the root file of the storage card, but I cant figure this out.
Is there an idiots guide, (I am a total newb and Idiot) showing how to do this. Maybe one of you guys has a webpage or thread with it all easily put down.
Your help would be most appreciated please.

Does it have bigger POI icons?
Cause i've installed QVGA , it's full screen and looks nice but hte POI icons are little.
Or maybe that just tomtom 7

Hi,
I don't know if you already found how to do this but i will try to give you a simple guide:
1. copy the file VGA black.cab to your SD card root.
2. click on the file once (a .cab file can be compared to a .exe file on a pc)
3. After install, copy your map western europe 1gb.815.2024 to the root of your SD-card. Make sure that when you open the folder of the map, you should see files and not another map otherwise it won't work!
This should get you up and running tomtom 7.

POIs are small 'cause the TT version available run quite correctly on HD, but IT'S NOT the right version for HD, simply it doesn't already exists

Thanks,
Have managed to get the program to install, but no hope with the maps.. Keeps saying they aint activated..

So the problem ain't the software itself, is the map activation. You have 2 choices:
1: click here http://www.tomtom.com and have your VISA ready, or...
2: MOD EDIT....WAREZ ARE NOT ALLOWED HERE

Tomtom navigation - where to install maps
Hi all,
I'm spend a lot of time on many forums to find how to propp install Tomtom navigation (I'm using Tomtom 7).
Installing a Tomtom program is so simple but the maps thats another storry.
All informations what I'm found was telling you need to create a folder "maps" in root of the memory card and than copy all files from your PC folder of actual map there. That information is OK just if you want to use a single map.
Problem is if you want use more maps than one.Yo just simple can't coppy contens of two or more maps into the same forder.Or if you try to copy whole folders with maps into yours "maps"folder on your card the Tomtom not see that.
So what to do ???It's really simple.
1. You do not need to create the "maps" folder
2. All what you need to do is copy whole maps folders into the
" My Documents " folder on your storage card (not on" My Device " memory !!! )
Its work perfect,I'm use more than 3 maps (UK+IR, Western+Central EU, Eastern EU,...)
So maybe this info help some people whos need more maps.

I purchased the map from TOMTOM website, but when I tried to install it using tomtom home, it doesn't allow me to download

Hi stevenyu24, vidamusic et al with TT7 issues. Suggest you read through the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432410&highlight=TomTom and pay special attention to bmcconalogue post. All your problems should be solved there.
Best regards,

Just for you guys,
I have Tomtom Home 2.6 installed on my macbook and I can get MapShare working free with my TomTom navigator 7 installed on my Touch HD.
Just connect it as a Disk Device then when TomTom asks which device to use, choose the one on the Storage Card (the map is on the storage card and the app is on the internal storage)
Then, you will get free maps' correction !

Sounds great, but I can't access the link.
Any chance of getting this to work for tomtom?
Thanks

or iGO8?^^

you must say me
1. preferred file hosting
2. full path to program, ex: "Garmin\Garmin Mobile Xt.exe"
or "StorageCard\Program Files\TomTom\TomTom.exe"

and for automapa.. ?
Can You make one for polish people too ?
1) rapidshare or megaupload (http://www.megaupload.com/)
2) "Storage Card\AutoMapa EU\AutoMapa EU.exe"
thanks You very, very much in advance!!
P.S. the link from 1st post does not work..

may be it will work for Garmin
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=335BJ0QD
automapa and other can be done in 14:00-15:00 or evening after 19:00 GMT+2
because now i not at home : )

I tryed to improove code, but it has some limitations
path must be no longer that
\Wayfinder\Wayfinder.exe
i'm trying to find another way, but....

Does not seem to work. Garmin does show up under default navigators, but it cannot be selected, it goes back to google maps.

you make Garmin.exe as alternative file name?
Garmin folder in main memory?

Yes, I just copied Garmin Navigator TX to desktop, renamed to Garmin.exe, copied back to main memory. It shows up in the default navigators screen, but when I click on it, the selection panel simply closes and GM stays a default.

hmmm
i hav NOT installed GM
so may be try to rename googlemaps.exe in xxx.exe or about
and try again...

Still no luck. I renamed GM, and it no longer shows up in the panel. However, it would still not allow me to select Garmin, just would not open anything when I click Navigation. I guess there is smth different in my X1.

so lets check
if renamed then not seen
so you have right tune up garmin.exe
i have Uninstalled Wayfinder and Googlemaps...
may be uninstalling of GM will help
and if so, you can install GM again and see what happens...

No, that's not it. Uninstalled GM and Wayfinder, softreset, still does not work.

very suspictious....
may be any one also try to test
and then i could compare

ok mate let's do it together. but I am a noob ;(
if that is not a problem for You we can try with automapa. what do I need to do/prepare?

path must be no longer that
\Wayfinder\Wayfinder.exe
for example
\Storage Card\AM\AM.exe
or
\AutoMapa\AutoMapa.exe
it is easiest way, i think...

done
ok - so it is
\Storage Card\AM\AM.exe
what now?

TomTom Problem with R3A

Hey Guys,
on the R2A-ROM I used TT 7.915.9196 successfully.
Now i've upgraded today to the R3A and installed the same Version with the same Installer again.
I installs perfectly but when I start it i got the error:
"Your device is not compatible with this version of TomTom NAVIGATOR!"
What should/can I do?
Thanks guys

Did you install TomTom orginally on your Memory Card? If so everything is still there, just a link in your StartMenu is missing. Have a look for \Storage Card\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe and you can just run it from there.

Yes, try that! It should work because it worked on mine, same version, etc.!

May I ask: does it refer to all the apps installed on memory card? I mean - after a FW upgrade it's enough to just run it?

"Your device is not compatible with this version of TomTom NAVIGATOR!"
I reinstalled it, but still the same Problem.
Which Version do you use?

Hey Guys,
i've tested to start the exe from the old installation, but the message still appears.
Any ideas?

I'm using TomTom 7.910.9185 with no problems!

Perhaps because you messed it now up with that installation and some files are changed.
Since I installed tt7 on the memory card, I don't need any installer ever again. No matter if reset or flash. Just pop in the sd card and I run the tt7.exe again. This will automatically run tt7 as if it never was off. (unless you changed the phone/imei no need for new serials with the maps either!)
As to the question if that goes for all other apps, some! Some need a serial again, some don't. Perhaps because some apps put a reg file on the stick. The others will run after a reinstallation creates the necessary reg entries in the phone again.

With R3A??
If yes, then please PM to me with the installer. Thanks
;-)

looks like not all installation packages do work. A had good results with a package called black, which installed directly on the device. another package blue with additional folders for voices included did not work with installation path on the card. maybe that is helpful for others as well.
